I had no problems getting it installed and working. Now I can watch whatever I have on my PC on my TV in HD.
You have to make sure you have the right type of router to use with it. Just do some research like I did and you will not have any problems. But don't think it is just plug and play unless you have the router to support it.
For me it does what I wanted it to do - provided you have the the other pieces that it needs to work with.
Once I got the new router, however, we're seeing a loss of signal strength between those rooms. This is especially annoying since I am unable to increase the size of the antennae on the router. Instead, I'll have to increase the size of the antennae on the dma and any other wireless device that I want to put in that room.
In any case, I did notice that the menu actions and commands are rather slow on both MCE. I'm not especially concerned about this as long as I can view my media. I found that they can not view .mkv files at all, which is probably due to the fact that Media Center can not view .mkv files either even when I installed the codecs. I may need to find better codecs in order to make this work.
I also found that while watching a few films the MCE would stop playing after about 30 minutes of watching and revert back to the menu screen. I probably wouldn't mind this so much except for the fact that there is no easy way to navigate back to the same moment that you were at before the interruption. Fast forwarding does not work well at all.
The DVD player seemed to not work initially but after turning off the device and turning it back on the DVD began playing. It just took a while. When we finally got to the DVD's menu screen we found that it had been down scaled because it was copyrighted material. I suppose this was because I wasn't using an HDMI cable? I don't really know. I had heard that some HD players would do this if you used the component HD cables instead of HDMI but this was a bit much. I could understand not upscaling the DVD or whatever but it changed my viewing option from 16:9 to 4:3, which is highly annoying.
In any case, these things work and the picture looks great if the video files you want to play can be played with windows media player and they're of a good quality and I guess if you have an HDMI cable.
Today I got the Dlink DSM-750. Twice the price, no DVD player, and worth every penny more! Five minutes to set up and has not lost a signal all day. Maybe premature to say for sure that it works great, but the build quality, ease of setup, and initial experience has been 500% better than the linksys.
In the interest of providing a bit of my own background to put this review in perspective, while I am not a network engineer by any means, I am not technically inept either. I built my Media Center enabled PC, set up my home network and upgraded it over the years, and have been in the IT industry for 20 years professionally.
In summary I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I feel this product is to be avoided. Spend the extra money for the quality of the D-link unit and enjoy Windows Media Center as it was intended!
